Yes guys, this is my day, the day i am free. I got the long overdue email notice. I got my asylum in 1999, ND in 05/2000, FP in 05/2004, BIO on 08/13/05, and approved today on 08/16/05. It has been a long wait, full of frustration and perseverance. Guys, i want to thank each and everyone of you for the support and advice. It was helpful to know that there are other people out there going through the same ordeal as i was. For those whose applications are still pending, keep your heads up. I don't drink, but i will sip on an expensive red wine today.
